Shop the Last Days of Summer at Milagros Rústicos

New Arrivals
Written By Rich Helmer

August is that wild little season in Arizona where your iced tea sweats faster than you do, the monsoons roll in like drama queens, and every evening feels like a slow dance with fall.

And right now, the showroom at Milagros Rústicos is full of that same energy. New rustic furniture, folk art, and handmade decor have just landed — rich in color, texture, and tradition. From carved wood benches to handblown glass tumblers and soulful ironwork, it’s a fresh wave of charm, just in time for the season’s last hurrah.

There’s still time to refresh your space before cooler days call for layers and lanterns. Whether you’re setting up the courtyard for a few more alfresco dinners or bringing warmth inside ahead of fall, now’s the time to stop in and see what’s new.

Come enjoy the last golden days of summer — and take home a little handcrafted sunshine while you’re at it.

Rich Helmer

Originally from the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois, Rich Helmer's family headed west to Arizona just before his final years of high school. Rich became instantly fascinated with the desert southwest. Its renowned grandeur and mysterious energy would profoundly influence his later work, as would the endless beaches of Mexico and Southern California. Rich's sonic creativity emerged at an early age, as did his unorthodox approach to artistic ventures.

As a primarily self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Rich has never been one to live by a handbook. However, after devoting most of his life to music, he abandoned his true passion and decided to seek a more "realistic" vocation. The decade-long diversion is something that Rich still occasionally laments, but he also knows that the past is just that - the past. Fortunately, Rich decided to dust off his vintage Telecaster and pursue his love of photography, leaving him with little time for regrets.

Rich dares us to consider what possibilities may lie along the path less traveled with both humility and purpose. Whether provocative, soul-stirring, inspiring, disconcerting, or some combination of these, the overarching theme in Rich's work is that, for him, the lens is much more than a curved piece of glass; it is a vehicle through which viewers can experience worlds that might have otherwise remained hidden.

Join his journey.
